Hornets with 18-1 odds to win title

The Hornets may seem in limbo with injuries and trade rumors but Vegas is still giving them respect.

They are listed as having an 18/1 shot to win the NBA title by online wagering company BetUS.com. Still a bit of a long shot, but there are only five teams with better odds, the Lakers (2-1), the Celtics (5-2), the Cavs (4-1), San Antonio (10-1) and the Magic (8-1).
